OUR PARTNER:

Our partner, ABN AMRO Clearing, is a global leader in the domain of clearing, offering access to a wide range of listed instruments on markets across the globe.

IT is at the heart of their organization with more than 30 different product teams and 10 different platform teams that are trying to build the best products & services for their customers.

Their presence in important financial centers like Amsterdam, Chicago, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo Hong Kong, London, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt and Iasi, allows them to effectively serve clients worldwide and maintain close proximity to their diverse customer base.

THE ROLE INVOLVES:

The ABN AMRO Clearing Observability Team empowers engineering teams and security departments by turning data into actionable insights, playing a crucial role in keeping the bank running securely. They maintain and enhance the observability stack, integrating data into the platform, transforming it, and preparing it for queries and alerting.

To achieve this, they use a variety of tools - and in this role, the spotlight will be on implementing Splunk Enterprise Security (ES).

The Security Operations Centre within our partner's organization will be the primary user of the platform, making close and ongoing collaboration with them both essential and rewarding.

Their team is international, with observability professionals based in Amsterdam, Chicago, London, and Iași. This position is located in Iasi.

As the lead for the Splunk ES implementation, you'll take ownership from both a project management and hands-on engineering perspective. You'll be supported by a team of skilled engineers and a dedicated product owner, but you'll be the one driving the initiative forward. Much of the data is already in place and a significant number of alerts are configured - the next step in our maturity journey is upgrading to Splunk ES, where some refactoring will be required.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Desire to continuously learn and improve in a complex, rapidly evolving environment
